Family dynamics are a constant struggle. I've always said that I'm a daddy's girl. My dad is the only one in my family that I really get along with, who I feel really listens to me and gets me. My mom and I are better than we used to be, I feel like we appreciate each other more now that our time together is so rare. Sometimes my brother and I can ( Read more... )

I should have just gone to bed tonight, I should not have gone on msn and seen that everyone's names were grades-related. Of course I couldn't help but look at my own, and as per usual they're good but not up to my over-achieving expectations, nor law school standards.

Allow me for just a mere moment to be a poli sci dork and gush over how ridiculously excited I am for next semester. Politics of Africa, Middle Eastern Politics, and Politics of Aid.

Funniest Rosh Hashana ever! Five hour trip from Guelph to Toronto because Jeff had to pick up his bro from Western "on the way" which meant that I missed Rosh Hashana dinner w/the fam. Good thing my aunt is way more laid back than my parents and didn't really mind. And besides the fact that we could have driven to Ottawa in that amount of time, it ( Read more... )

I awoke (literally and figuratively) to the realization again this weekend that I have some pretty amazing people in my life. Saturday morning I got an 8:30 AM wake-up call of the long distance phone call from Israel variety. Anyone who knows me knows I am *not* a morning person but I was so glad she called. I needed to be reminded that even though ( Read more... )

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for this late-breaking news update. Recently in the life and times of Hava Goldberg...I acknowledge the my update-age has been lacking, but I'm just so overwhelmed at the amount of things to say. The start of a new year is just so fresh, new and exciting that I barely know where to start. I left ( Read more... )
